Penei Sewell OT selected 7th overall

He has a ton of potential and won't turn 21 until we get into the regular season.  Just as important, we retained Hank Fraley who did a fantastic job with our O-Line last year.  Pairing up a great O-Line coach with a prospect with Sewell's potential could pay a lot of dividends.  Would the coaching staff consider moving Taylor Decker to RT at some point in the future as Sewell advances?

As much as I am not very high on Decker, he has been very solid the last couple of years.  So I don't expect a quick move but also could depend on who transitions to the other side better.  Hopefully both are team players and don't get their ego busted by having to play RT.

Not shocked that Campbell went with a tough and  relentless player like Sewell.

I wanted a trade down but also wanted trenches built so this was a pick I honestly have no complaints about. 
 

can’t recall last time I didn’t have some negatives about there first round selection....it might have been Suh but I might have had something that worried me there or Calvin. But it’s been a long time

I honestly think they got the player with the highest floor but also the highest ceiling. Very little chance he busts imo, and he has a very good chance to be an all-pro and hall of fame type tackle for this franchise for 10+ years.
